Today, on Christmas Day, I received a gift that completely touched me. It was a handmade Noti Shiba from my two daughters, aged 7 and 13.

I am happy to share that NotiSprite has officially been approved by Apple. Your beloved sprite can now travel from macOS to iPhone and iPad.

The same philosophy applies everywhere. No login, no ads, no data collection. It just works.

NotiSprite launched almost two months ago, and I wanted to share this update here as well. It has been meaningful to see real users who genuinely understand what I am trying to create. Real reactions, real feedback, and real appreciation for the artwork and the effort behind it.

NotiSprite was also featured on Product Hunt, which honestly shocked me. I did zero promotion. None of my network even knew I was launching that day. I simply wanted to see if anyone out there cared about this small idea of animated companions on the desktop. It somehow ranked seventh, and that moment felt like a huge breath of relief. It made me feel that maybe this project actually has a place in the world.

About eight years ago, on a quiet summer afternoon at work, something strange happened. I was staring at my shiny 27-inch iMac when I noticed a tiny bug crawling across the screen. I tried to brush it away with my hand. It didn t move. I tried again. Still there.

Then it hit me. The bug was inside the screen!

Dear all,

Thank you for your interest in NotiSprite! Without your support, it wouldn t have been featured on Product Hunt :)
